In the 1990 Steven Spielberg movie‚ JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO‚ Joe Banks‚ played by Tom Hanks‚ reached a dead end in his job­ and his life¸ He learns he has terminal "brain cloud"‚ then meets an eccentric millionaire (Lloyd Bridges) with an outlandish proposal that allows Joe to turn his mediocre‚ unfulfilled life around¸ Joe finds himself on the private yacht of Patricia (Meg Ryan)‚ one of the wealthy man’s daughters¸ On a star­filled night in the South Pacific‚ Joe reflects on his incredible new life since meeting her father and tells her‚ "Your life is unbelievable­­just unbelievable¸" Patricia looks up at the night sky and replies‚ "My father says that almost the whole world is asleep­­everybody you know‚ everybody you see‚ everybody you talk to¸ He says that only a few people are awake‚ and they live in a state of constant‚ total amazement¸" HURRAH for Spielberg! Not to mention Henry David Thoreau‚ whose most­often quoted statement is‚ "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them¸" Quoted less often‚ "To be awake is to be alive¸" Every mind has a choice between truth and repose¸ Take which you please­­you can never have both¸ (So saith Ralph Waldo Emerson)¸
